GOOD COLD, VERY WINDY MONDAY AFTERNOON TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS IN PAULDING COUNTY AND BEYOND…..While we were getting ready to leave a store, I started to get in to our vehicle and the door on our SUV swung open so quickly and with such force when I opened it that it hurt my arm! Really. On a more exciting note, I had a remarkable experience this afternoon. Without initiating the conversation or imposing my thoughts, the Holy Spirit took charge, and I humbly served as the vessel. Here's my story: I was shopping at a store in Grabill and ready to check out, when an Amish lady kindly offered to assist me at her cash register. We talked a bit about the weather as she checked me out, and I thanked her and
walked toward the doors. Here she came, toward me, wanting to talk more. Out of the blue, she started
talking about the fact that people don’t want to hear about the Lord and won’t even listen about it! I mentioned that it is our responsibility to plant the seeds of Salvation, let God water the seeds, then hopefully, they sprout!! She smiled and “wanted” to hear MORE!Honestly folks, at this point I only remember part of what was said. I explained that making sure our loved ones are ready and everyone that wants to listen should have an opportunity to accept Christ. Her eyes just lit up. The Holy Spirit knew just what her heart wanted to hear!!I mentioned doing flowers for Amish Weddings…at this point she said she needed my phone number!….She said she wants to talk to me again, I want to talk to her too! Her name is Kenosha…Keep her in your prayers. She is such a lovely person….Moments…and opportunities, folks…don’t run away from them. The person you talk to today, may be the person who is saved tomorrow!…. I love you all so much, and I pray for your safety in this horrible weather….Love and Prayers..
